This page details how to run a technical check when first launching Chaos Arena. 


Section

Overview

Prior to launching Arena for the first time, we recommend running a technical check in order to make sure everything works as expected.

GPU Setup

  1. Check that each render machine is using NVIDIA drivers (537.42) or newer. Latest drives are recommended.
  2. Enable V-Sync (NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Vertical sync).
  3. Set up Quadro Sync timing server and clients (NVIDIA Control Panel > Synchronize Displays).

Color Management Setup

For HDR output (recommended):

  1. Enable HDR in Windows (Display Settings > Use HDR). This is optional, and it depends on the LED processors, as they usually have their own options.
  2. Enable HDR in the LED processors, if needed (possible options are HDR/HDR10 format, PQ/ST2084 transfer function/gamma/EOTF, Rec.2020/Rec.2100/BT.2020/BT.2100 color space/gamut).

For normal SDR sRGB output:

  1. Disable HDR in Windows (Display Settings > Use HDR).
  2. Set up sRGB input in the LED processors (Rec.709/BT.709/sRGB color space/gamut, sRGB transfer function).
